Chocolate Dipped Strawberries Nuts (Printable)

Fresh strawberries coated with rich chocolate and finished with crunchy nuts—an elegant sweet treat.

# What You Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 20 large fresh strawberries, rinsed and thoroughly dried with stems intact

→ Chocolate

02 - 7 ounces good-quality dark or milk chocolate, chopped

→ Nuts

03 - 1/3 cup finely chopped nuts such as pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts, or pecans

→ Optional

04 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil or unsalted butter for smoothing chocolate

# How To Cook:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
02 - Place chopped chocolate and optional coconut oil or butter in a heatproof bowl. Melt gently over simmering water or in 20-second microwave intervals, stirring until smooth.
03 - Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into melted chocolate, coating about two-thirds. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
04 - Immediately sprinkle or roll the chocolate-coated portion of strawberries in chopped nuts.
05 - Place coated strawberries on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining berries.
06 - Allow chocolate to set at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes or refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes until firm.
07 - Serve immediately or store in a single layer in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They look like something from a fancy bakery but take barely twenty minutes, which means you can pull off impressive without the stress.
  • The contrast between cold, juicy strawberries and warm chocolate coating is genuinely addictive.
  • They're perfect for gifting because they feel thoughtful but taste like indulgence.
02 -
  • Wet strawberries are chocolate's worst enemy—the water makes the coating seize up and look dull and speckled instead of glossy and smooth.
  • Chocolate seizes when it gets too hot or mixes with water, but a little coconut oil can actually rescue it, which I learned the hard way before figuring out to just add it from the start.
  • If you dip too slowly or too long, the chocolate coating gets thick and heavy; quick, confident swirls create that professional-looking thin shell.
03 -
  • If your chocolate seizes (gets thick and grainy), whisk in a little coconut oil bit by bit until it smooths back out—this rescue worked when I panicked mid-party.
  • Dip your finger in melted chocolate first, then swirl it on the rim of the bowl before dipping strawberries to create a little chocolate reservoir that makes dipping cleaner and faster.
